Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a mandatory UK government framework that replaced the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme in April 2019. The aim is to simplify the reporting process for companies and reduce emissions from business and industry by 80% by 2050.
Companies must report on their scope 1 and 2 emissions, energy use from electricity, gas and transport, and provide narrative commentary on any energy efficiency action undertaken in the past 12 month reporting period. Eligible companies must include SECR in their Directors' Report, or similar section, for the past financial year. E.g. If your financial reporting year is 1st April – 31st March, you will need to start gathering data from 1st April 2022 ready to include SECR in the 2021/2022 Annual Report.
